Chapter 67: The Stables in Distress
It wasn't long before the two of them were in front of the stable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhai Jingyue was about to push the door in, Mei Jiutong immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her into the bushes outside the stable. Zhai Jingyue asked puzzledly: "Jiutong, you said that you wanted to come to the stable, but now that you are at the door, why don't you want me to go in and have a look?"
Mei Jiutong put her hand to her mouth, signaled her not to speak loudly, and said, "There are people in the house." Zhai Jingyue's eyes widened, and she whispered, "Sister is really inside?" Mei Jiutong shook his head and said, "It's not Cuixin, it's someone else." ”
Zhai Jingyue was startled, and immediately stopped making a sound, pricking up her ears to hear someone talking in the stable. One of them said, "Big brother, this white horse is so important, we have to come late at night." The other man booed and said, "Brother, you don't know." There are only two horses in the Western Regions in the entire Dingyan army, one of which is in Xia Guogong's place, and the other is our general's horse. Now that the horses had entered the valley of solitude, the general was very angry, so I volunteered to go into the valley to investigate. The man suddenly realized: "So that's the case, the junior brother and the general have only been two or three years, and I never thought that the general's mount would be so valuable." ”
Mei Jiutong listened to the discussion between the two, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Tuoba Jiyu is so deep in the city that even the warriors under his command have been deceived. If this white horse is just an ordinary thousand-mile horse, why do you need your subordinates to risk coming and stealing it back, there must be something strange in it. ”
Just as they were thinking, the two had already untied the horse's reins and were ready to lead the horse out. Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue hid in the bushes on the side of the road, and when the two of them got out of the stable, they went up and quickly clicked on the acupoints of the two. Those people couldn't catch off guard, and when they saw that the person in front of them turned out to be Mei Jiutong, they all exclaimed: "Master Mei, how could it be you?" Mei Jiudao: "I have now resigned from the official position of chief catcher, and now I am adrift in the rivers and lakes, I didn't expect us to meet again." ”
The two of them were very alarmed and said, "It turns out that you lied to us before, if the general knew, he would definitely not spare you!"
Zhai Jingyue recognized that one of them was the samurai who had come to Beiqing Building that day to make trouble, and walked up and gave him two slaps hatefully, causing the man to scream. Zhai Jingyue said: "You villain, you actually wanted to tease this girl and Sister Cuixin that day, now you know how powerful this girl is." After saying that, he kicked him hard in the body and gave him a few more slaps. The man couldn't move all over, he was tortured unspeakably, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Auntie and grandmother spare your life, the little one will never dare to be presumptuous in front of you in the future." Let's also ask the girl and Master Mei to open up the net. ”
Mei Jiutong said, "Why are you here?" The man replied hesitantly: "The little one was ordered by General Tuoba to come to the valley to retrieve the horse. Mei Jiutong glanced at the man, and said suspiciously: "I'm afraid it's not just for this matter, right?" The man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Master Mei, the small sentence is true, and I will never dare to deceive you." ”
Zhai Jingyue listened impatiently, pulled out the saber on Mei Jiutong's waist, walked to another person, put the knife in front of his neck, and said loudly: "You tell me honestly, have you seen my Cuixin sister tonight?" Seeing this, the man was so frightened that his feet trembled, and he replied in fear: "The little one and the eldest brother lurked in the stable just now, and along the way, out of the girl, I never saw other women again. ”
Zhai Jingyue thought that he deliberately plugged himself, and stretched out his hand to slash at the man's neck, and the man's heart was cold, thinking that his death was near, and his face turned pale with fright. Mei Jiutong quickly grabbed Zhai Jingyue's hand, took back the big knife and put it in the scabbard on his waist, and said, "Don't mess around. I haven't found out the whereabouts of Cui Xin yet, and besides, with their lives spared, we may be able to find clues to configure the antidote. ”
When the two men heard the word antidote, they had desperate expressions on their faces. One of them said: "Master Mei, it's really not a secret, the antidote has always been on the general, where do we have it?" Zhai Jingyue believed their words, and said: "It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, if you don't hand over the antidote tonight, don't want to leave here!" The two of them were silent.
Mei Jiutong thought for a moment, and said lightly: "Do you know that the arrows on his body are poisonous?" The man only thought that he could get out of the sea of suffering, and replied in unison: "The little one heard the general mention, it seems to be a red-headed snake venom." "Red-headed snake venom?" Mei Jiutong read it in his heart, thinking that these two people did not have an antidote on them, so he had to unlock the acupoints for them, and said: "Seeing that your attitude is more sincere, I will let you go tonight." Go back and tell Tuoba Jiyu that he will kill himself if he commits many injustices! I hope he will do it himself. ”
The two hurriedly kowtowed in thanks. Mei Jiutong smiled at Zhai Jingyue and pulled the horse to the stable.
Seeing Mei Jiutong relax their vigilance, the two warriors hurriedly ran out of the hidden weapon from behind. Mei Jiutong heard the sound of sharp weapons fluttering behind him, turned around and grabbed the handle of the hidden weapon with his hand, and found that it was actually two darts, he remembered the things in the broken temple of Kaifeng Mansion, worried that the darts were poisonous, and hurriedly let go of his hand, and the darts fell to the ground, clanging.
The two of them failed to sneak attack Mei Jiutong, and threw two more darts at Zhai Jingyue, Mei Jiutong hurriedly pulled Zhai Jingyue and turned over to avoid the attack of the darts. One of the darts stabbed the white horse, who let out a long cry of pain and ran into the stable. Another dart flew towards the door frame and nailed it to the door frame.
Mei Jiutong was furious, pulled out a big knife with a "whoosh", and flew towards the two of them. The two had never seen Mei Jiutong's moves, and took out several darts and attacked him. Mei Jiutong was in the air, raised his big sword to protect his body, and knocked several darts to the ground in an instant. Seeing the blade coming, the two pulled out the wolf knife on their bodies to defend against it.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, tried to besiege Mei Jiutong. Mei Jiutong swung a knife with his right hand to press one of them, and his left palm struck the person in the abdomen, and the person suddenly flew out of Zhangyu and crawled on the ground. The other person's martial arts were slightly stronger, and at this time, he fought desperately, raising his knife and attacking Mei Jiutong's head. Mei Jiutong dodged sideways and made a move to grab the man's wrist, but the man blocked it with a horizontal knife. Mei Jiutong was worried about Zhai Jingyue's safety, and he had no intention of fighting, the big sword went straight up and down, and there was a burst of sword light and sword shadow, and the man's wolf knife had been hit to the ground.
The party warrior saw that he was about to be arrested, but unexpectedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Master Mei, the little one has eyes and no beads, I don't know that you have a special skill, and the small sin deserves death." ”
Mei Jiutong's blade had already pierced the bridge of the other noses, seeing that he called himself "Master Mei" in his mouth, thinking that he used to be the chief catcher of Kaifeng Mansion, how could he kill people at will, even if the person in front of him was extremely evil, he should be handed over to the yamen for interrogation before making a judgment, thinking of this, he felt compassion and said in a straight voice: "You leave the Silent Valley immediately, I don't want to see you again!"
When the man heard this, he picked up his companion on the ground and said in a panic, "Thank you, Lord Mei, for not killing." We don't dare to do anything here anymore. With that, he left in a hurry.
Mei Jiutong watched the two disappear into the woods, walked up to Zhai Jingyue, and said, "Jingyue, it's so dangerous tonight!" Zhai Jingyue crossed her hands on her waist and said to him angrily: "Jiutong, Jiutong, what do you want me to say about you? Everyone else has made a killing move, and you still have a bodhisattva heart." Mei Jiu Channel: "The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, although I don't do things in the Yamen, but I still have to abide by the national law of the Jin State." ”
Zhai Jingyue said with slight annoyance: "What national law is not the national law, this girl doesn't know anything." All I know is that my sister is missing tonight, so I have to find her quickly. Mei Jiutong smiled: "Yes, where is this girl?" He remembered that the white horse had just been hit by a hidden weapon, so he hurriedly walked into the stable, took out the darts on the horse's body, washed the wound with water, took out the cloth strip and bandaged it, and then left with Zhai Jingyue.
The two men left the stable and walked in the direction of the building. On the way, I heard several screams from the direction of the tiger and wolf forest. Mei Jiutong was so anxious that he didn't know who was killed, so he rushed to the place where the sound came from with Zhai Jingyue.
When Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue arrived, they found that there were only two pools of blood on the ground, and there were some torn clothes next to them. Mei Jiutong stepped forward and found that these clothes were the ones worn by the two party warriors just now.
It turned out that the two party warriors left the stable, thinking that they had escaped and ascended to heaven, so they thought of approaching the road out of the tiger and wolf forest out of the valley of seclusion. The two walked less than half a mile in the tiger and wolf forest when they met a few tigers that came out to forage. The wolf knives on the two of them were discarded outside the stables, and the darts on their bodies had been used up, and there were no weapons to cover their bodies at this time. The two party warriors had no time to escape, and their palms were no match for the tiger's giant claws, and both of them were eaten alive.
Zhai Jingyue looked at the bloody scene on the ground, and was so frightened that she threw herself directly into Mei Jiutong's arms, and said, "Jiutong, there are a lot of tigers and wolves here, let's get out of here quickly." If the tiger comes, we will be too late. Mei Jiutong glanced at the surrounding woods, the night was hazy, and the yin atmosphere in the forest was pressing, he shivered in his heart, picked up Zhai Jingyue, and quickly ran towards the tiger and wolf forest.
When the two returned to the building, Zhai Jingyue was still in shock, crying: "Jiutong, Sister Cuixin hasn't been found yet, will something happen to her?" Mei Jiutong comforted: "Don't worry, Cuixin will be fine." Zhai Jingyue said: "You lie to me! Anything can happen in the Lonely Valley! Now Le Yiyang's life is worried, and Cuixin's whereabouts are unknown, what can I do." You must know that these things will happen, and I will not leave you that day. ”
Mei Jiutong saw that she was emotional, and she seemed to blame herself in her words, and said: "Jingyue, the matter has come to this, we can only face the reality, it is useless to just say these regretful words." Zhai Jingyue glanced at Mei Jiutong innocently, suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged him and cried: "You are so bad! You didn't even give me a chance to say something I regretted." I hate you!"
Mei Jiutong hugged her tightly and said angrily: "Jingyue, you have to cheer up, believe me, Cuixin will be fine." Zhai Jingyue knew that Mei Jiutong was comforting herself, cried for a while, and gradually calmed down. Mei Jiutong said cautiously: "It's not early today, you have a good rest first, and we'll think of a way tomorrow." Zhai Jingyue nodded lightly and got up to send Mei Jiutong out.
